For Edwardian Chain Drive car : Curtiss OX5 V8 8 2 litre 1915/ 16 AERO ENGINE
Recently rebuilt, equipped with all the difficult bits.
Up to 350ft lbs torque !
Fit a 2-speed gearbox with 2:1 axle to a suitable chassis and you have a 100+mph car for track - or scarily - for road use, all at a leisurely 1400rpm or so... Would keep up with anything!
See the engine running on You Tube via our website :-
